Hobo,

Any review?

I've been looking at them for a while. I have quit the pile. Was actually looking at setting up a "fund raiser" for my wife's daycare. It looks like schools and other organizations are not looked at as close in regards to testing, etc.

Have you looked at Planet Green for the inks? That's our go-to but they don't handle toner. They also take weird crap like FitBits, calculators, and phones. They payouts have been excellent, given the quality, and they've never stiffed us in over two years.

LL has yet to reply to a third shipment request I put in almost nine months ago. The industry people I've talked to seem to agree that the toner buyback world is essentially over, as the flood of cheap and non-reusable pieces have subsumed the demand for reclaimed carts.

I loved TonerBuyer but we are just out of time at the shop to scan through buylists, at this point.

Still haven't tried them, but did find out they have an eBay store. You can look up eBay dazz cycle. Found it interesting. On toners, they sell partially full ones. Must weigh them to figure percent.

So we finally decided to send in some cartridges. We set it up under my wife's daycare program. I believe they actually have flyers that you can hand out. Package was received today. Will update when she get results.

We got our check today. $38.25, which is what we thought it would be. We sent in about 39 empty inkjets that ranged from 5 cents to 3 dollars, for a total of 32 dollars. We also sent in a few old unused new cartridges for 6.25 dollars. Shipping was paid by Dazz Cycle. We have a ton of laser toner cartridges to go thru, but will probably wait to see what happens with the coronavirus. It put a damper on prices for toner cartridges. Not enough people in offices for large demands.

Just a note for anyone deciding to give this a shot. They do say that shipments recieved from individuals are scrutinized and circuit tested. Sounds like they were burned before by recyclers. If it is set up under a school or non-profit, they don't verify as much.

During the summer, we sent dazz an email inquiring about box weight limitations and not being able to meet minimum values at that weight. Never got a response. This week, we requested prepaid labels for 2 boxes of empty toners. Took 2 emails to get a response and they responded they are not buying empty toners at this time. Website has not been updated.
Have to say, I'm not impressed with customer service at this time.
I understand covid is effecting the market, but change your website and answer emails promptly.

FedEx has apparently lost our box. Sent an E-mail to Dazz Cycle asking about a claim and who should file it. They said the $15.75 was not worth filing a claim and they would just pay me the full amount. Will update when a check is recieved.

Also have a second box to send out soon.

Our box mysteriously showed up. It was lost (fed ex) between Pittsfield, MA (12/17) and Rennsellear, NY (1/6). 18 days to travel about 1 hr

As noted in another post, our box finally showed up at Dazz around 1/8. It was stuck in Rennsellear, NY for over 2 weeks. Dazz paid out the full $15.75 prior to receiving the box based on the assumption that it was lost.
